Are the Reds Dead? Uniforms?

Good gawd no! -
Are the Reds Dead? Uniforms?
Ned Flanders replied to Bills fan since 87's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's not about the color, the NFL just wants players in the same helmet all season, for "safety" purposes. This was not the case in 1994 when, during the NFL's 75th anniversary, the Bills stayed with the red helmet with the white standing buffalo. They were just lazy...they could have gone with the white helmet then but chose not to. -

Chargers will be in monotone all dark blue, so the Bills will be in white, possibly throwbacks. -
What products do you absolutely stand by?
Ned Flanders replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall
Gave up my 1998 Avalon, with 148k miles, a year ago. Hated to do it; just needed too much work to justify putting $2k into it. -

The Orioles had a Colorectal Cancer Alliance fundraiser in honor of colorectal cancer survivor, Trey Mancini. The summer-long campaign netted $80,000, a nice figure for a great cause. https://www.mlb.com/orioles/news/featured/orioles-raise-more-than-80-000-through-f16ht-t-shirt-sales Bills fans have raised over $300,000 in 72 hours. Hats off to the greatest fans, in any sport, in the country.

Best single play in Bills history
Ned Flanders replied to stevestojan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thanks so much for this...I've seen the NFL Films version of this, with Van on the call, but never the NBC feed. I was there and we were in the tunnel ready to leave when Hooks made the first catch...we saw the TD and the roar of the crowd brought everyone out of the concourse and guys running out of the bathroom, a few with their pants down around their ankles I couldn't recognize the announcers' voices, but I think it was Mike Haffner and Dave Rowe. May have to go through the entire game to find out. -

Wow, didn't know it went to a monthly. -
Josh Allen in Sports Illustrated
Ned Flanders replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I gave up my subscription several years ago...the magazine was getting thinner by the week, the stories were dated and the cover photos, once the crown jewel of SI, were starting to look like the National Enquirer. All print media, newspapers, magazines, journals, etc. are going the way of the square wheel. I hate to see it, but it's just the way technology has evolved, or devolved, depending how you look at it. -
Yeah, that's really Pegula's style...

Sunday Ticket anti-trust lawsuit revived
Ned Flanders replied to JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Umm, yes. I have for the last 20 years. DTV use to be a fine company until ATT took over. I've been fortunate in that, in these 20 years, I've annually received ST at a reduced cost or free. I could be wrong, which is entirely possible, but I thought I read recently that the NFL can sell, or maintain, the streaming rights to ST starting in 2021. -
Sunday Ticket anti-trust lawsuit revived
Ned Flanders replied to JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
NFL/ATT will also enlist the help of the beer barons here. A main source of their revenue, bars, is hurting now and without the limited NFL/ATT "exclusive agreement," bars will further suffer. Bars have made Sunday afternoons relevant if you want to see your team's games. What was usually the slowest time of the week, bars have now become an integral conduit to your team's Sunday afternoon games...and what item do bars like to sell most? Not chicken wings but the high profit margin associated with alcohol, most notably beer. I have a friend who was very involved in this at one time; it was the beer barons that screamed to the NFL not to "open up" Sunday afternoon games to regular cable but keep it on a system that many folks can't/won't get (DTV). And when the NFL's big sponsors, here Big Beer, talk, the NFL listens. -

Favorite non bills color analyst
Ned Flanders replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Romo is the clear choice among today's analysts but us old timers remember the great Al DeRogatis, who teaming with Curt Gowdy, made a great pair during the AFL days and into the early 1970s. https://youtu.be/RW5GnZCxqIw?t=354 Another great color man, in the NFL, was Tom Brookshier. Teaming with Pat Summerall, pre-Madden, Brookshier had much of the insight, sprinkled with humor that Tony Romo displays today. -
Why Did You Become a Buffalo Bills Fan?
Ned Flanders replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
1973, went to the regular season opener against Jets...my first "big league" game in any sport. Never forget walking into Rich and seeing the...ahem... bright green AstroTurf. Bills won that game without scoring a touchdown, 9-7, on the strength of three John Leypoldt (RIP) field goals. -

It lasts longer? I find the grocery stores, and even Ace Hardware, sell a lower quality feed. Been getting Wagner's and Kaytee from Amazon and Home Depot. I usually give it a couple of days before I fill an empty feeder as well.

I'm going through 30 lbs. of bird food every two weeks...one feeder. I'm spending more on their food than the dog. It's reaching a breaking point soon.
